Slicing and merging production events

Abstract:

The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for analyzing different production events as a group by modeling the production events as intervals of time. In one example, the method includes modeling a plurality of production processes as a plurality of intervals of time which are overlapping one another on a graph over a predetermined period of time, each modeled production process including a sequence of events over time, determining a slice of time on the graph within the predetermined period of time based on event timings within the plurality of production process, identifying an event that is occurring in each production process during the slice of time based on the overlapping plurality of intervals of time, and storing the identified events of each production process together as a group along with an identification of the slice of time.
